1 Timoteo 3:5

Listen to 1 Timoteo 3:5
5 porque el que no sabe gobernar su propia familia, ¿cómo podrá cuidar de la iglesia de Dios?

1 Timoteo 3:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 3:5

For if a man know not how to rule his own house
Which is an affair of less importance, and more easy to be done; not requiring so much resolution, prudence, care, and thought:

how shall he take care of the church of God?
preside over it, rule in it, provide for it, and see that everything is in its proper place, and done according to the will of God. The argument is from the lesser to the greater.

1 Timoteo 3:5 In-Context

3 no debe ser borracho ni pendenciero, ni amigo del dinero, sino amable y apacible.
4 Debe gobernar bien su casa y hacer que sus hijos le obedezcan con el debido respeto;
5 porque el que no sabe gobernar su propia familia, ¿cómo podrá cuidar de la iglesia de Dios?
6 No debe ser un recién convertido, no sea que se vuelva presuntuoso y caiga en la misma condenación en que cayó el diablo.
7 Se requiere además que hablen bien de él los que no pertenecen a la iglesia, para que no caiga en descrédito y en la trampa del diablo.
